Troll bones found in Norsewood

Ready for
a new assignment…

.

Woodward: Things
are getting exciting. Today he rambled incoherently, then shouted at everyone
they weren’t giving him a fair hearing and burst into tears.

.

Bernstein:
Sounds like a story I could report on.

.

Woodward: Get
yourself up here. There’s more than just giving speeches nobody understands. He’s
giving orders for the police to arrest mayors and judges who won’t do what he
orders.

.

Bernstein:
This sounds more exciting than reporting from Norsewood. Hey, did I tell you they
just found evidence for the existence of trolls? Troll bones have been
excavated.

.

Woodward: You’ll
get more readers if you cover the news up here.

Voice-over

Incoherency? Anger? Tears?
An approval rating suggesting that still a third of the people approve of him?
Maybe they identify with incoherency and anger and tears…

Choose your stories. Know
what people will read. What’s hot, what’s not. But sometimes a little light
relief is good too, eh Trevor?
